AIMA Conclave 2022: Sudha Murty of Murty Foundation defines philanthropy

AIMA Conclave: Sudha Murty, Chairperson, Murty Foundation and Social Worker said philanthropy is not just about spending money, but also loving human beings as she addresses All India Management Association’s (AIMA) 7th National Leadership Conclave.

“A lot of people mistake philanthropy for money. Money is an essential component but it is not all the components,” Murty said adding that philanthropy means loving fellow human beings. “In Latin philanthropy means loving the fellow human being. You should love human beings, whether you have money or not. It is the secondary. But you must love your mankind and your people,” she said.

Murty, while speaking at AIMA Conclave 2022, said the golden rule of philanthropy is don't expect when you do something for others.
Talking about how to fix illiteracy in India, Murty said parents should insist on education. “They must be aware of the importance of education. Education is a magic wand. I always say that it changes a person’s life. When parents are not responsible, you cannot do that with any policy or with any incentive.”

“Play well, study well, try to understand knowledge, and learn well, that is the key to success rather than by hurting and getting marks,” Murty said. She also mentioned that parents shouldn’t push their children for their unfinished dreams.
